(JULY 21) In response to the nonsense that Mariem Brakache's team wrote and published on WBAN,  I would like to respond to it.

First of all, you (Brakache) didn't know what ONE judge was thinking? There are three not one. Secondly---I've heard of hometown decisions, but out of state decisions? PLEASE?!

I was almost 500 miles away from home.  Anyhow, you "not catching a second wind"  sounds like your trainer's problem---not mine. I did not even fight to my full potential and that too was my problem. But I,  nor my team is crying about it.

You say you want a piece of me? Once again....be careful what you ask for----because next time you won't get a piece. You're gonna get THE WHOLE THING.  So bring it, your lucky we don't go out there and take that belt away from you.

When you win a championship fighting quality fighters like Holly Holm or Mary Jo Sanders, then maybe I'll recognize you as a champion.

Until then, just know that you're fighting with the big girls now sweetheart. So the "losing?" GET USED TO IT!........(I'll be waiting....) ---Angel Martinez
